Customer Reviews
Stuck With Me
I finished Inhaled yesterday. It's interesting and terrifying and very well-reported. It was a great angle to focus on the smoke instead of trying to cover every facet of wildfires.
If you live in the West, like I do, you need to listen to it. (Although these types of fires don't/won't only be happening in the West as climate change continues.) More fires in the wildland-urban interface are going to continue. Get educated.
Excellent reporting
This has been a fascinating, if alarming, podcast that finds the perfect balance between being accessible to a layperson without being dumbed down in any way. The information was important and relevant, far more in depth than a lot of the wild fire coverage was and the presenter was exceptional.
Inhaled: interesting information!
I found the information presented to be easy to follow, and informative. Not “dumbed down”, but presented in a way that was both entertaining, and informative. Cant wait to see the rest. Ive had close family members affected by recent air quality issues, and its something we need to take very seriously.
